So yea, the argument of stopping the "Black-Market" just doesn't hold up to the mildest scrutiny.
So I can just create steam accounts and sell the invites tied to them. People WILL find a way to make a profit off of something that is handed out freely without risk in its acquisition. There is a "so called "Black-Market"." It is an entirely appropriate description. You continually gloss over the important fact that
there is no compulsion on anyone to pay Valve anything to get into beta. Please stop trying to talk around this fact. It is entirely voluntary in every possible way.
-The game is going to be F2P.
-All the heroes are going to be free.
-Getting into the beta is free.
-Valve instituted a voluntary, paid option for people that are impatient. It is both a deterrent and revenue generator.
Apparently, the doom of beta is nigh.
